| Back Pain/Leg Pain/Hip Pain can be a symptom of many different conditions. Back pain is commonly caused by muscle strain, arthritis, or other spinal disorders. There are many nerves in and around the spine that can be sensitive to pain. A thorough evaluation should be done by your physician to determine the etiology of your pain. Pain or numbness shooting into your buttocks, legs, or feet; weakness in the legs; or changes in the bowel and/or bladder may indicate further back problems. Any pain that is new or worsening in nature should be treated immediately. |
